Townscape

Half-timbered houses and modern residences characterize the village without a thoroughfare. The Ziegenhagen spa administration still offers small offers during the holiday periods, otherwise the flow of spa guests and holidaymakers has decreased considerably in recent years. The Ziegenhagen adventure park , located about 1 km northeast of the village church, was closed on November 4, 2019 for operational reasons.
